Prefatory    Note 


THIS  manual  of  children's  literature  was  begun  in  1886,  mainly  as  a  help  to  librarians  and 
those  having  the  guidance  of  young  people,  though  it  will  be  found  useful  as  a  catalog 
for  children's  use.  By  the  death  of  Mr.  Sargent,  the  completion  of  the  work  was  interrupted, 
but  his  plan  has  been  carried  out  as  nearly  as  possible,  with  the  addition  of  new  titles  up  to 
date.  The  classification  is  not  intended  to  be  a  rigid  one;  many  works  of  apparent  fiction 
being  inserted  under  scientific  headings  or  in  other  departments  where  they  may  be  helpful, 
although  their  titles,  as  is  often  the  case  with  juvenile  books,  give  no  intimation  of  their 
contents. 

The  index  to  periodicals  was  suggested  by  the  many  applications  of  young  people  for 
material  for  essays  on  topics  of  the  day  and  on  scientific  subjects,  written  in  a  manner  adapted 
to  their  comprehension. 

It  is  hoped  that  it  may  be  as  useful  to  other  librarians,  who  wish  to  aid  their  young  patrons, 
but  lack  helpful  books,  as  it  has  been  in  the  three  libraries  which  have  made  use  of  it  during 
its  compilation. 

After  the  work  was  nearly  completed  it  was  delayed,  at  the  desire  of  the  committee  of 
the  Publishing  Section,  in  order  to  include,  by  permission,  the  books  in  the  excellent  manual 
of  Miss  Hewins,  "  Books  for  the  Young."  Many  books  in  that  list,  however,  being  now  difficult 
to  obtain,  it  was  found  impossible  to  annotate  all  of  the  titles,  and  such  have  been  inserted 
without  notes,  for  the  benefit  of  any  who  may  have  access  to  them. 

The  letters  a,  b,  c,  in  parentheses  have  been  attached  to  most  of  the  titles  to  show,  in  a 
general  way,  to  what  class  of  young  readers  they  are  best  adapted,  (a)  designating  works 
suitable  for  youth  from  twelve  to  eighteen,  (b)  those  for  children  from  eight  to  twelve,  and  (c) 
those  for  the  youngest  readers.
